Shutting Down Modules
Note If you are powering on more fabric modules than allowed by the current maximum number of fabric
modules, then make sure that the fabric modules that you are powering on are installed in the first n
fabric slots (slots 1 through n), power-on those modules with the no poweroff xbar command, and
change the maximum number of fabric modules to n (see the “Changing the Amount of Power Reserved
for Fabric Modules” section on page 8-30).
